Wanted Notice

Vintage Vintage Ephemera

Original Wanted Notice from the California Bankers Association of San Francisco: "Arrest for Passing Worthless Checks - Reward $25" for the apprehension "and conviction of G. A. Canfield...," posted on September 5, 1917.

From the collection of Police Chief Michael Webb (1950-2009). Webb joined the Vinita Park, Missouri police force in 1974 and served until his death in 2009, during which time he purchased crime artifacts from relatives of criminals and law officers. Boasting more than 8,000 wanted posters, pieces of Webb’s collection have been featured in film and displayed at the National Crime and Punishment Museum in Washington.

Measuring approximately 8.5 x 11 inches, this notice is in very good condition, with mailing folds, some light staining and adhesive remnants on verso.
